a  metal  hemi reconstruction  of just  cracked ball end  femur.  Pretty  common  injury. Socket  looked  good  enough still. In about 7:30 pm and  Tom I went  for Outback steak and   stiff  drink.. Dr  called waiting  rm all ok so home  about  11PM.  Guess will hit  Warm Springs rehab  by  Sea  World again on weekend.  Love for all warm feelings  been sent.  Lots more  pain but less  anxiety  latest  go round.

Times that try a man’s soul. Truer words never spoken. I’m sorry for Dorly’s troubles, Don. I can’t imagine what the last few days have been like. Mexus will be here next week and the week after. Let’s concentrate on getting your wife back to health.

God has a plan and a purpose for our lives, in this I believe. He does, however, have a way of testing us, does he not? Yesterday your comments made me feel your pain, today seems somewhat better. Small steps back, my friend.

Only the best thoughts going out to you and Dorly. Hoping to meet and be intimidated by same.

D called at 10PM. Will get  other hip repair surgery  7 PM Thurs 4 June. Least we know the drill 3 years later. Rm 466B Methodist Hospital. Expensive bowl of melted strawberry ice cream Sunday midnight snack. Thought the screams from a horror flick. Movie ended screams kept on. House been an insane ward last 3 days. Then 10:30 PM bell rang and a very cute Sherriff’s deputy hand on gun told me had been a 911 call. I said yeah 12 hours ago thanks for the response. LAUGHTER THRU TEARS. Somethin’s you just can’t make up! And Miz  Ellie? I’d like  to know  who really  taught you  to think and  express so clearly. My own troubs  began when English teaches  began  to howl at my  silliness and  even encourage  it  on.  Finally  late one school   day after   Jr  year   Soph Lit  teacher asked  if  I’d  do a  humor column in  school weekly  rag “Flashlight ” he  was  to be  advisor to. Some  later Mr  Gallegos   taught  writing  at  Soledad  State  Priison  after  hours  with  stellar  results so  owned a bit  of  The  Brights.   “Private  Disgrace from Outer  Space” ( spoke in  doggerel )  featured  result in ” To: wit  by  Don” and  aint looked back.  Need not like  it   much but  at least  smile for  effort in  passing . At times I feel I succeed.  Don

Sorry to hear about Dorly. Hope she has a speedy recovery and Paul some deal gets done asap.

Hey Don — wow what a downer way to end your celebration week!

So sorry to hear about Dorly, sending prayers of healing and comfort
your way .. 

Hang in there — I know your family is close by to help, but you also
have  ‘extended family/friends’  in many places who think well of you
and are praying for you all.

Best regards,

Yep, PG, we’re  finding  that out and it does  help.  Surgery  at  7 PM and from the  one  x-ray they took  looks  like a  hip joint  again. Get brief  as  taking her  down to operate.
